Il Mantello E La Spiga (original)Il Mantello E La Spiga (translation)
Sotto l’ombra sospiravi Under the shadow you sighed
pastore di ombre e di sotterranei segreti shepherd of shadows and secret dungeons
parlavi di una vita trascorsa. you were talking about a past life.
Come sempre le foglie cadono d’autunno. As always, the leaves fall in autumn.
Intona i canti dei veggenti Sing the songs of the seers
cedi alla saggezza yield to wisdom
alle scintille di fuochi ormai spenti, to the sparks of extinguished fires,
regolati alle temperature e alle frescure delle notti: adjusted to the temperatures and coolness of the nights:
lascia tutto e seguiti. leave everything and follow.
Guarda le distese dei campi, perditi in essi Look at the expanses of the fields, get lost in them
e non chiedere altro. and ask no more.
Lasci un’orma attraverso cui tu stesso You leave a footprint through which you yourself
ti segui nel tempo e ti riconosci. you follow yourself over time and you recognize yourself.
Correvi con la biga nei circhi. You ran with the chariot in circuses.
E fosti pure un’ape delicata, And you were also a delicate bee,
il gentile mantello che coprì le spalle di qualcuno. the gentle cloak that covered someone's shoulders.
Lascia tutto e seguiti. Leave everything and follow.
I tuoi occhi dunque trascorrono svagati Your eyes therefore pass by inattentiveness
ed ozi come una spiga. and you idle like an ear.
Come sempre le foglie cadono d’autunno.As always, the leaves fall in autumn.
